About Leaf Shave
Leaf Shave is a small independent company founded in 2018 by two friends who were frustrated with disposable razors and redesigned shaving around durable, refillable metal razors. It makes reusable safety razors, a dermaplaner, steel blade refills, and plastic-free shave care such as oils and soaps.
Its stated aim is cleaner shaves with far less waste, and the razors and blades themselves are plastic-free metal. It states it is Leaping Bunny cruelty-free, though that was not confirmed in the registry here, and its razors sit at a premium price built around buy-once, refill-for-life.
